Hi Guys,
I am looking for a Radeon 9800 pro or GE Force FX 5700. My computer does not support PCI-e.

Any ideas?

The 5700 Ultra gets beaten around by the 9800 Pro, don't get that. Newegg had the 9800 Pro at around $100 for awhile, but I'm not seeing that anymore. Here's one for $140:

I think there's probably a better choice out there for a video card now though, the 9800 Pro is good but it's a bit old now. How much are you looking to spend?

I have a FX5900XT by EVGA. It's an AGP card. It bought this card last summer in August so it's been used for roughly one year. The card is pretty much close to new except for some dust. The card also comes in its original box with the games and cds etc. I'm looking for $100 shipped.

I am looking to spend $60 - $80. That seems to be the place where the market does not lose value very quickly.

I am really just aimimg to play NeverWinter Nights on the full settings. What I have now (ATI 9200) chugs like nobody's business....

I will keep looking for the 9800 pro. I did see it for around $100 on newegg....

Thanks,
Matthew
